wiredmikey writes: A sting operation setup by the FBI that roots back to 2010, resulted in 24 arrests on Tuesday, following what the bureau said was the largest coordinated international law enforcement action in history directed at “carding” crimes. Tuesday’s coordinated action— which the FBI said involved 13 countries, including the United States—resulted in 24 arrests, including 11 individuals in the U.S. and 13 individuals abroad.

The FBI said that in June 2010, it established an undercover carding forum called “Carder Profit” (the “UC Site”), which let users discuss various topics related to carding and to facilitate ways for cybercriminals to buy, sell, and exchange goods and services related to carding, and other malicious activities.
